Rochester new york and much much more
Rochesterville, its name shortened to Rochester by 1823, soon became the seat of Monroe County, New York and was rechartered as a city in 1834. By 1823, the Erie Canal had made its way westward, and an aqueduct was constructed over the Genesee River at the site of the present day Broad Street Bridge in downtown Rochester, NY. The Erie Canal now connected Rochester to all points east and west. Having grown to the largest flour producing city in the United States by 1838, Rochester ny became known as the Flour City. Also doubling in population by 1838, Rochester earned distinction as the first American boomtown.
